We The Stupid

I understand Ann Barnhardt’s frustration.
This debt ceiling increase was no victory. Giving the federal government a new $2.4 trillion slush fund makes about as much sense as giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. Time to swap out more Congressmen and Senators for less corrupt replacements.There are no cuts, and we all know it. There are reductions in the rate of increase of spending. We’re just gulping slightly less fiscal poison, so we’re dying slightly less quickly than before. Until inflation kicks in. And assuming future Congresses choose to abide by this Congress’ promises. And if we don’t get involved in another war.
But hey, we only control 1/2 of 1/3 of the gubmint. It’s not like Cut Cap & Balance was popular or anything. And the media will be mean to us unless we compromise, and they’ll be nice if we do. It’s still 1995, and Teh Interwebz have no effect. Tea Parry? What Tea party? Best we could do. Even though “next time” has never come yet, our GOP betters will really & truly make actual cuts after we win in 2012. Pinky swear.
Eat your peas, drink your poison and smile!
